    I found that cheap lined paper in the August sales worked well for PPing. I use old phone book pages for string piecing.

    Nice job.

    I have several absolutely gorgeous patterns that require paper piecing. I think am going to try one during the long drive to my daughter's house in TX ( though not while 'I' am driving, lol). Guess I'll see if a) I like pp and b) if I can figure out how to actually accomplish it.

    OLD telephone books works well too! you want them old so that the ink is dried out.

    Nice job! I use the "Doodle Pads" from Dollar Tree. I have to cut down the sides, they are 9 x 12. Only the width matters to my printer and I have to feed them in one at a time, but it works great!
